thereof. To this end the annular member 49 is provided with a gear which meshes with a gear 56. -The gear 56 is in coaxial alignment with and is secured to a smaller gear 51 meshing with the gear 53 on the shaft l6. The'gears 58 and 51 are carried by a shaft 58 mounted in a pair of ball bearings 59 secured in the housing 23. When the shafts I6 and 18 are rotated, the annular member 49 will be rotated through the gears 53', 51,56 and 55 in the 'same'direction as the shafts, but at a different rate of speed, so as to produce relative rotary movement between the track 48 thereon and the track 31 on the flange 36 of the lower shaft l8. Thus, when the shafts are rotated, the upper track 48 will be rotated relative to the cam track 31 at a reduced rate of movement, causing a rolling of the'rollers 40 and ll therebetween and a revolving of the rollers about the axis of the shafts and periodic axial" reciprocation of the lower shaft l8 and the drill attached thereto. The numberof rotations of the shafts l6 and lB necessary to produce" one rotation thereof relative to the annular member 49 and cause one reciprocationof the shaft i8 is controlled bythe ratios of the gears 53, 5l and 56, '55, so that by varying the gear ratios, the number of rotations of the arbor necessaryt'o effect one reciprocation of the drill may be varied.

What is claimed isi 1. TA chip breakingdevice for a drilling machine comprising'fa driving shaft, an axially reciprocatable driven shaft splined to said driving shaft for rotation therewith, a non-rotatable housing in'which said shafts are rotatably mount-1 ed, an'annulaiflange on said driven shaft 'having an annular track concentric withsaid shaft, an annular member rotatably mounted on said driv-' ing shaft in axially fixed relation thereto and having an annular track' thereon opposed to said first mentioned track, a gear on said annular member-{a pair of diametrically opposed rollers" interposed btween'said tracks and adapted to roll thereon, means for mounting said rollers for revolving movement around "said shafts, a gear fixed tosaid'driving shaft, and gear means inter connecting the gear, on said driving shaftand' the gear on said annular memberand'ope'rable for rotating said'annul'ar member relative to said shafts in'response' to rotation of said shafts, said,

track on said annular flange having a pairfo'f diametrically opposed axially extending notches therein, whereby when said shafts are rotated the rollers willride into and out of said notchesarld effect'an axial reciprocation of said driven shaft for a multiple number of rotations thereof;

2. A chip breaking attachment fora man drilling machine cornp'rising a drive shaft, a re; ciprocable driven'shaft connected to said drive shaft forrotation therewith, a housingf in which said shafts are rotatably. ounteajme nsj f r? preventing the rotation of said housing,lan'ani-,

nular thrust member mounted for rotation about .,m eans interposed between and in engagement "with said tracks and mounted for rotary movement; about the axis of said shafts, a cam element on one of saidtracks, a gear on said thrust member, a gear connected to and rotatable with {one of said sh'aftsgand gearing interconnecting the gear on said thrust member and the gear on said shafts-to rotate. said thrust member relative for guiding said'roller for movement around the axis of said shafts and between said tracks, a cam element on one of said tracks engageable with said roller for causing a relative movement axially between said cam and said roller; a gear on said annular member, a gear fixed to one of said shafts, and gear means interconnecting said gear on onefof said shafts and said gear on said annular member to rotate said annular member relative to said shafts in response to rotation of said shafts.

4. A chip breaking device for a metal drilling machine comprising a driving shaft, a driven shaft axially movable relative to said driving shaft, means-connecting said shafts for rotation in unison, a non-rotatable housing in which said shafts are rotatably mounted, an annular track on one of said shafts, an annular member mounted for rotation On said other shaft and againstaxial movement relative thereto and having an annular track thereon opposed to said annular track on said shaft, a roller interposed between '1 and rollingly engaging said annular tracks, means between said cam and said roller, a gear on said REFERENCES} CITED 'Thefollowing references are of record in the file of ,this patent:
